Damask Rose

The healing virtues of the Damascus Rose (Rosa Damascena) have been known since ancient times.
It is one of the oldest plants on earth. Fossil forms dating back 40 million years have been found. There are also clay tablets from Pylos, in the Pelopponeso, dated around 1500 BC, which report data on the purchase of rose oil.
It takes about 7 tons of rose petals collected before dawn and distilled within a few hours to obtain 1 liter of Essential Oil.
